Anti-GART Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated

Trifunctional purine biosynthetic protein adenosine-3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GART gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a trifunctional polypeptide. It has phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase, phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase, phosphoribosylaminoimidazole synthetase activity which is required for de novo purine biosynthesis. This enzyme is highly conserved in vertebrates. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
